12 Shows To Watch After ‘Rick and Morty’ –– When The Obsession is Real

I am pretty sure a lot of you don’t know this tidbit about me, but your girl – like a lot of other people out there – loves Rick and Morty. And after binge-watching the whole show in 2 weeks, I have been galloping through the internet to find more tv shows like Rick and Morty. Needless to say, I have spend a good sum of my lifetime looking for shows that are, in one way or another, similar to Rick and Morty. Or at the very least, a tv show that would be able to suck me in and keep me obsessed with it from the beginning all the way to the end.

After a grueling journey battling giant sized earthworms, aliens and having to go through a purge in another planet, your girl have finally compiled up enough shows that would help hold us back and scratch the itch for Rick and Morty lovers as we impatiently wait for the next season.

A humanoid horse, BoJack Horseman — lost in a sea of self-loathing and booze — decides it’s time for a comeback. Once the star of a ’90s sitcom, in which he was the adoptive father of three orphaned kids (two girls and a boy). The show was the hottest thing around, then suddenly, was canceled. Now 18 years later, BoJack wants to regain his dignity. With the aid of a human sidekick and a feline ex-girlfriend who is his agent, he sets out to make it happen.

Putty clearly impart their religious values upon him, Orel always misunderstands and for some reason believes that smoking crack is a good thing, euthanasia is OK, and impregnating women with a sperm-filled pastry bag is actually a moral thing to do.
